MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 2.4 ft, 8.8 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,777 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,777 m of the 3,206 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10 at SCIP Mataveri Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,025 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Hanga Roa in the Region de Valparaiso, Chile. The climb took 16 minutes and covered 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,027 feet above sea level to 37,131 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,105 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 220 minutes and covered 1,866 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of -28.0142867 and a longitude of -107.3432316. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north west of SCDI Pichidangui Airport in Pichidangui, Chile. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,161 feet above sea level to 2,809 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,352 feet.
The final approach to runway 17L at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport was made from the north, heading 177.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17L, which has a length of 3,206 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 404 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,702 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,075 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 265 minutes. The aircraft used 30,318 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport on runway 17L. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 99.6%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 404 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately control the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,702 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with a high level of proficiency, and the pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
